Follow the instructions and look at your lens to make sure that you are getting the right size. This will not fit on your current lens if you have a UV filter on there already.
That being said, it works great for shooting in the middle of the day but needing to control the incoming light. I love this filter.

Great product and does what it is supposed to. Shooting with a A7rii and a Tamron 28-75mm G2 it does seem to have a bit of vignetting (possibly due to my settings, may be an aberration other than vignetting as well). The variable ND is definitely nice to have and the range is good for most applications. I especially found it useful in a snowy environment where I wanted to keep the ISO down.
A few gripes I have that maybe unsolvable because 9f the nature of the item: 1) the lens cap only barely hangs onto this filter, potentially a Tamron lens issue, 2) a lens hood doesn't work effectively, the bore of the V-ND makes it so you would have to put on the cover THEN the filter.

Definitely a nice surprise! I expected an average filter for the price point, I am attaching a copy of one of the first 5 photos I took with it in the Smoky Mountains. The first 4 were just figuring out the shutter speed I wanted. Quite pleased, wife happy - can't ask for anything more. Looking forward to many pictures using this 82mm Variable ND Filter with my Tamron 24-70 lens (or a more wide angle when I can afford one) on my Nikon D-500.

I had a smaller diameter of this product for a different lens, so when I got my new lens the first thing I bought was this ND filter. It is incredible. And this one had little dots along the edge, as well as text that read "Min" and "Max". This was super helpful. My only complaint about the smaller ones was that you couldn't tell how far was the maximum and minimum, and this model has solved that issue. I don't go anywhere without this filter. I will be buying a K&F Variable ND filter for every lens that I get from now on.

...Remember, this is a variable filter based on polarizing filters. Thus, when photographing skies or water reflections, the density is not uniform across the whole area. Good use for my wide range applications.

This filter works for me perfectly and I am very satisfied with the results I have had while using it. It is noteworthy that the size of lens cap you need once this is on your lens will increase. I bought the 49mm and needed to increase my lens cap size to a 52mm to accommodate the larger thread size on the front. This wasnt a huge deal though as I already had a 52mm lens cap laying around. There is a size corresponding chart on the company website that will tell you what size lens cap you need depending on which size filter you buy. Hope this helps

Here in Arizona we have 320 sunny days a year. The sun is bright and intense. A ND filter is pretty much a must if you want control over the quality of the video you are shooting. This particular variable ND filter works well on my Fuji X-T4. It allows me to set my lens at f4 and keep the exposure perfect. Setting the lens at f4 means it will be in the sharpness sweet zone, thereby producing great video. It is a great ND filter for the money spent.

I ordered this lens because my regular supplier was out of the 67mm size. I am very happy with this filter. It functions the same as my other filter, appears to be very well made, and I haven't noticed any aberration in the final result. I am using this on a Canon 100mm macro.

I almost gave up on trying to invest in an ND filter because I wasn't ready to spend $200 or more on some waterfall shots. Came across this one and LOVED it. Took it on my trip to Italy, and it provided some phenomenal shots in full daylight. It worked great with both 30-second exposures of waterfalls and also when I just needed it to block out the haze from the rising sun at the top of St. Peter's Basilica. Sure, there might be a shadow around the edges, but the overall quality of the photos that this provides is well worth it.

Although I love the slim design I really do not like that my lens cap does not always fit this variable ND filter. If it did I would never take this off my lenses
